English description after Dutch

ASEED Europe (Actie voor Solidariteit, Gelijkheid, Milieu en Diversiteit) is een internationale campagneorganisatie. ASEED Europe wil de structurele oorzaken van milieuproblemen en sociale onrechtvaardigheid aanpakken. Wij doen dit door middel van campagnes tegen multinationale ondernemingen en hun nationale en internationale invloedsferen en machtsinstrumenten. Te

gelijkertijd promoten wij duurzame alternatieven. Momenteel focust ASEED Europe op de problematiek van de mondiale voedselketen en klimaatverandering: genetische manipulatie, sojamonoculturen, machtsconcentraties in grote internationale agro/biotech-bedrijven, agrobrandstoffen, vleesconsumptie, en internationale financiële en handelsinstellingen. ASEED is in 1991 door jongeren opgericht in reactie op de milieutop van de Verenigde Naties in Rio de Janeiro om meer samenwerking te bevorderen tussen jongerenorganisaties die wereldwijd werken aan milieu en sociale gerechtigheid. Vanaf 1992 groeide het gedecentraliseerde ASEED-netwerk en werden er regionale "knooppunten" gevormd in Europa, Azie, Noord-Amerika, Afrika, Latijns-Amerika en Japan. Elke netwerkknoop zette eigen activiteiten op die groepen en individuen in hun regio samenbrachten. Sindsdien hebben de netwerkknopen onafhankelijk van elkaar hun eigen manier van werken ontwikkeld. ASEED Europe werkt met ongeveer 6 mensen vanuit het interactieve kantoor in Amsterdam in samenwerking met verschillende organisaties en personen in Europa en de rest van de wereld aan de volgende doelstellingen:

- het initiëren en coördineren van campagnes en acties over milieu, ontwikkeling en sociale thema’s,

- het voeren van discussies en verspreiden van informatie over deze thema’s,

- het ondersteunen van plaatselijke en regionale organisaties door samenwerking, en het delen van informatie en vaardigheden, netwerken en samenwerking met andere internationale organisaties,

- projecten voorbereiden en organiseren vanuit het ASEED Europe kantoor. Meer over ASEEDs doelstellingen is te vinden hier: http://aseed.net

ASEED Europe (Action for Solidarity, Equality, Environment, and Diversity Europe) is an international campaigning organisation, giving importance to involving youth in direct democracy activities. ASEED Europe targets the structural causes of environmental destruction and social injustice. We do this by campaigning on multinational corporations and their national and international influence spheres and control tools. At the same time we promote sustainable alternatives. Currently ASEED Europe focuses on issues related to the global food chain: the decline of biodiversity in agriculture and the availability of seeds, genetic engineering and power concentration by global agro/biotech giants. Our general agriculture campaign goal is to promote food sovereignty. In the recent past we have been campaining on the massive production and imports of soy, climate change and international financial and trade institutions. ASEED was established by young engaged people in 1991 in response to the UNCED Earth Summit proceedings in Rio de Janeiro and aimed to forge alliances among young people committed to social and environmental justice. Since 1992, the ASEED decentralised network grew and regional “hubs” were created in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, Latin America and Japan. Each hub had its own level of activity, linking youth groups and individuals in their region. By now each hub has developed in its own way, working independently from eachother. ASEED Europe works with about 6 people in the interactive office in Amsterdam, and together with many contacts in the rest of Europe and abroad on the following objectives:

- Initiating and coordinating actions and campaigns on environmental, development and social justice issues;

- Promoting discussion and disseminating information about critical emerging issues;

- Empowering local youth groups and grassroots organisations via trainings, joint projects, and knowledge sharing;

- Establishing partnerships between various organisations and groups worldwide and facilitating international cooperation and networking;

- Preparing projects from the ASEED Europe office and working with local grassroots organisations. More about ASEEDs goals you can read on aseed.net/en

Another decentralised event for you!
On Sunday June 28th in Filmhuis Cavia, we are going to screen Seeds of Dignity (by Ali Alsheikh Khedr) and have a panel on seed sovereignity and international solidarity to strategise collectively how to defend the right to the core of all life: seeds!💥

Seeds of Dignity follows the work of Buzuruna Juzuruna, a grassroots collective of farmers and seed activists in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley who are reclaiming food production from the control of agribusiness and global seed corporations. Through the collection, multiplication, and free distribution of heirloom seeds, they challenge agricultural dependency and work toward food sovereignty across the region.

Set against the backdrop of economic collapse, war, displacement, and the enduring legacies of colonialism, the film explores how struggles over seeds are inseparable from broader struggles for political autonomy, collective self-determination, and social justice. Extending beyond Lebanon, the collective’s networks connect farmers, activists, and communities in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Europe, demonstrating how agricultural knowledge, care, and resistance can circulate across borders.

At a time when food systems are increasingly shaped by corporate concentration, conflict, and ecological crisis, Seeds of Dignity offers a powerful account of internationalist solidarity from below and of the efforts of farmers and activists to defend the right of communities to control their own food systems, seeds, and futures.

TOOLS FOR SOLIDARITY WITH MIGRANT WORKERS IN DUTCH AGRICULTURE - with Migrant and Wage Labour Working Group (Agroecology Network)🧑‍🌾
Can food system be just or resilient if it relies on workers who lack autonomy? The Dutch agri-food sector, like many others, relies heavily on migrant labor. While their work is essential, migrant workers often find themselves in vulnerable positions, facing exploitation, wage theft, unsafe working conditions, and precarious living situations. With this interactive workshop, we hope to explore the realities of migrant labor in agriculture, unpack the power dynamics that shape the food system, and discuss its complexities. Drawing inspiration from successful organizing efforts and worker-led movements, we will reflect on what works, what doesn’t, and how we can build solidarity and organize for more just and autonomous food futures.

FARMER FOLK AGAINST FASCISM with Toekomstboeren🦎
It’s time to fire up our food autonomy organising with musical sparks and political bangers!
In this workshop we will collectively write a folk song that can accompany us food activists and farmers when we stand on the barricades to shut down Yara’s factory and the Rabobank headquarters.
Not only will we write this song, we will also rehearse it and record it so it can become part of the Agroecology Album.
No musical experience needed, but if you do play an instrument, please bring it!

ANTI- RACISM THROUGH THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED with Jaki and Kali🎭
We come together with our whole bodies to play with theatre exercises and discover our own patterns and group dynamics in conflict, to playfully explore how we can navigate tension & clash when they show up in our communities. Following Augusto Boal’s method, we rehearse moments of witnessing oppression. By practising situations over and over, we train our bodies to become more comfortable in taking an embodied stance against racism.

THE FILIPINO STRUGGLE FOR LAND AND JUSTICE with Maya Solidarity🌱
Land has long been at the heart of social and political struggle in the Philippines. Despite decades of agrarian reform promises, millions of farmers remain landless while land grabbing and rural inequality continue to threaten livelihoods and communities. In this talk, Maya Solidarity introduces the history of the Filipino peasant movement, the roots of land inequality, and the ongoing fight for genuine land reform, rural development, and social justice. We will explore the challenges facing farmers today, the collective resistance led by peasant organizations, and the international forces that shape rural life and solidarity efforts.

EATING IN CAPITALIST ECONOMIES - A CONVERSATION with alon’s Pickles🌽
How can we eat in line with our values while living in a shopping mall? How can you come closer to yourself and the life you want to live while navigating a capitalist food economy? Let’s have a conversation on how we see our situation with food consumption here in Amsterdam, things we’d like to change and come up with actions to make that change!
